Are apples made of givanium?
/ Are apples givanium crystals? / Are apples a single chemical substance perhaps containing crystal structure but consisting of one chemical element containing infinite protons? ->
rhetorical question you answer anarchists with. "wouldn't you prefer a civilization without political divisions or formal political organs to one with cops and soldiers?" "are apples made of givanium?" answer: "no; I wouldn't prefer something that doesn't make material sense and doesn't reflect the way material reality actually works, because if something is based on faulty premises and makes no sense I cannot want it; it is essentially a scam".
Background
- givanium / Givanium (Signifier Case; as seen in game) [1] -> fictional element which is said to have an infinite atomic number. it also does bogus frankenstein stuff but I'm filing that under "arbitrary tacked-on lore" almost exactly like the lore assigned to radioactive elements in Spiderman.
- element with infinite protons / givanium (generic) -> I'm obsessed with the concept of an element with infinite protons. what would that mean?
it would mean just a sea of protons and neutrons held together by quantum interactions and not divided into separate atoms, wouldn't it? but all put together about as close as they would be in an atom. so realistically it wouldn't be something you would put in a syringe, that would probably be a star functioning like one big atom. which somehow has protons as well as neutrons. a neutron star is full of neutrons but it isn't a normal nucleus, all the electrons get crushed.
